Hooray for the Internet!

This week has been a lot of phone calls, waiting, and wasting time on the internet.
My links are full of crafty inspiration!

I cannot find the original source of the image which is going around Pinterest.
Nevertheless, these look like they would make some great booties.

Hope something here inspires you!

Hooray for the Internet!

It's been ages since I've put together a mish-mash of links!  Here are some of the things I've come across recently.  Enjoy!

Fried Gravy on Whimsical Cookery
The middle patty is actually gravy which has been fried.  This sounds horrifically delicious.

Sylvia Plath on 365 Lucky Days via Kireei
This stitch artist is creating one project a day for a year.  Some are literary, all are lovely!
There are also some great Wes Anderson themed pieces.

Art Journal on Bare Feet and a Free Spirit
I love watercolor painting for fun and I adore the idea of keeping a watercolor journal.

reCAP Mason Jar Pour Top
Now that I am home and surrounded by mason jars, I want one of these! 

Inkodye on The Purl Bee
I've posted about Inkodye before. I can't wait to get my hands on the stuff!

Maps on Kayla Danelle
I want to do this for every place I've lived.

Hooray for the Internet!

I guess I am feeling a bit crafty; I have a few DIYs here for you this week among other pretty things. I have been so busy with finishing my masters degree and I feel like I have not had anytime for my own planned DIYs and crafts. Hopefully, I will have some spare time to makeover a few of my household items in the coming months!

I am in love with this couch!

Hooray for Going Home!

I will be home a week from Sunday!  By home, I mean in Greenport, New York--a quaint little village on North Fork of Long Island.  It's the kind of place you cannot wait to leave when you are growing up there but cannot wait to visit when you wise up and realize how good you had it.  The list of things I look forward to about visiting my home village is endless, but here are some links that are definitely on it!

Breakfast or Lunch at the Coronet, a tiny diner essentially unchanged since 1949.  

Greenport Harbor Brewing Company

Tasting all of the brews at the local micro-brewery.

Wineberries via NYT

Foraging for wineberries at the very end of their season or just eating what my father and sister have stored in the freezer.  I also look forward to whatever foraging my father has on deck.  There is always something to be foraged!

Fifth Street Beach via Village of Greenport

Swimming in the Bay.

67 Steps 

Visiting my favorite beaches.

High tea at the Tea Co. 

Hooray for the Internet!

It's officially summer vacation!  Or, at least, one week of summer vacation before I go back to work for summer camp.  But here are my summery links of the week.

Let The Summer Begin on Wood and Wool Stool

Ruffle Skirt Out of Old T-Shirts on Suburbs Mama

Open-Ended Creativity on Whip Up

San Francisco Mosaic Steps on My Modern Met

This reminds me of a summer when I shared a house with six friends, where we had cows in the backyard.

Homemade Icepops (for Kids and Grownups) on Rhythm of the Home

Vanilla Ice on Oh My Veggies

Flavored ice is not just for ice pops!  I want to make these for iced coffee.

Hooray for the Internet!

Busy, busy week!  School is winding down, we've been traveling, and friends are visiting.  But there's still plenty to see around the internet. Enjoy!

Tutorial on See Kate Sew

Hems are 99% of the reason I don't sew very big projects.  This changes that.

This is not altogether that useful, but would provide endless hours of entesummertainment, I'm sure!

Exposed Brick on Apartment Therapy

Blueberry Cabernet Cheesecake Popsicles on Endless Simmer

Fancy popsicles?  Don't mind if I do!

My dear friend, Makenna, has an article in the summer issue of Rhythm of the Home so of course I need to share it!

Cherries on Lou et Tom

Just getting excited for summer fruit!

Origami Elephant on How About Orange

And lastly, for simple chuckle factor:

Hooray for the Internet!

The last few weeks have been so busy. I feel like I have barely had time to catch my breath. I am working on finishing my very last paper for the semester, which will be the last paper for my Masters Degree program! Yay!!! Here are a few exciting things I have found on the internet this week! A little something for everyone, hopefully.

Hooray for the Internet!

I'm starting off my links this week with something you may have already seen.  Even so, it's worth repeating if not just due to my love of hot air balloons.

Enjoy them all!

I love all of these, but I'm still really into yellow lately.  Also, the ruffled curtain is precious.
